Heard the terrible news today of Brett’s passing. Zero details out there right now, but he was an amazing cave explorer and an all around good guy. My thoughts go out to his family…he has left the world far too soon.

Dive legend Brett P. Hemphill has died today while exploring one of the deepest underwater cave systems at Phantom Springs, Texas.
RIP to a cave diving icon.

So sad.
I read about them exploring that system on ADM back in the day.
